> Couldn’t we have stayed more civil in the first place?

I feel like there's a disconnect. Movies may not depict it so, but curses and profanity have always been a part of language. So the "shift" is happening in the opposite direction the way I see it.
Great comment! Great flexing of the different meanings of the word.
Thanks, looks like I should give julia a try again.

The article has much more than that. Scroll down to "There’s No One Else to Pay the Bill" where it says:

"For fun, let’s imagine confiscating all the profits of all the famously greedy health-insurance companies. That would pay for four days of health care for all Americans. Let’s add in the profits of the 10 biggest rapacious U.S. drug companies. Another 7 days. Indeed, confiscating all the profits of all American companies, in every industry, wouldn’t cover even five months of our health-care expenses."
I've done WebRTC cross-platform between iOS, Android and web browsers (in the end only Chrome...wasn't the web developer though, perhaps it was fixable) and I can tell you even while you're using Chrome, an OS built by the creator of Chrome and the WebRTC part of Chrome repackaged as an iOS library there were many, many caveats getting a solid connection. And the fun of iOS background modes while getting an incoming call. Of course the Google examples were all broken in their own little devious way. And there is really jack shit on WebRTC on the web, seems like everybody that figured it out just said "fuck it I'm not giving away this for free" after spending possibly months to get it working.

Though some people here seem to complain about no audio or no video...I have to say once we got it working it kept working. Sometimes the websocket we used for signalling dropped it's connection but the video call kept on trucking on some really bad WiFi!
Hi! This looks great. I'm assuming it being free is temporary, do you have any information on future pricing?
Those things have already happened.

As a legacy car owner (Toyota) currently shopping an EV, I already use an app for refueling, so it seems fine to use an app for an EV. Besides, I'll have 350km range and will charge mostly at home.

The dealerships of Nissan, however, are terrible and don't care about EVs. I've come close to impulsively buying a Tesla from their website a few times, but the ridiculous fee for a paint job gives me a really bad impression that it's junk luxury (and I think that's unfortunately how most ordinary people view EVs).
The phrase 'language policing' will be offensive. Thoughtcrime!
This "fact" is not, in fact, a fact. GP is engaging in the act of forcing intersubjective reality - basically willing this "fact" into becoming an actual fact.

This is becoming increasingly common in discourse these days, and noticing it is the key to understanding the various non sequiturs and other abuses of logic made in arguments that try to classify random stuff as offensive. Unlike in the physical world, in the social world, if enough people are forcefully claiming something is a fact, it becomes a fact.

That's why it's even more important socially to combat such abuse of reasoning than it is in hard sciences. You can't make gravity disappear because you really believe humans are capable of levitating. But you absolutely can make acceptance, due process and individual freedoms disappear if enough people strongly insist some other people are saying the wrong things.
Interesting. I'm still mulling over some of your points, but overall what you're saying makes sense to me.

I appreciate you sharing your story - I'm sorry you had to deal with that experience.
This thread might have the most downvoted comments I have ever seen here. It’s massively polarising. Discord, Reddit and freedom of speech - a potent brew.
I don't think it's quite the same though, the Spanish word for black exists in an entirely different culture that isn't shaped by the words use in modern America. Whereas the WSB usage of language is a direct reaction to the context of the word. They aren't saying retard because it came up through some parallel etymology, they're saying it specifically because it's offensive.

I had the same bug and it irritated me to no end too. I was about to make my own custom controller when I found out that they made a version 2 which fixed the issues. I have 2 of the version 2 and have been using it for a few years now with no problems. I'd say it was improved.

If you email them, they might give you a discount or some kind of trade-in if you tell them about your previous problems. I've found their customer service to generally be pretty chill.
How about C#'s Task Parallel Library? There's a lot of complexity that is (imo elegantly) abstracted below the surface with the usage of inheritance, while still remaining very configurable and extendable.

I'm not sure how you would go about replicating similar async/await sugar without tying functionality to Task instances but I'd like to see it.
I agree with you.

I don’t think the use of the word retarded is the same.
There’s a reason why no one explains abstract algorithms in assembly. It’s a trash idea, that obscures more than it illuminates. It’s a flex. A flex that is marginally above explaining an algorithm through a wiring diagram of thermionic valves.
That's obviously incorrect. When someone on wallstreetbets says "What's up retards", they are obviously not intending to insult everyone reading it. Context matters.

It's a very convenient excuse for banning a controversial community, though. With the sea change we just had in corporate censorship, no one should be surprised.

I hope we get plausible alternatives with a more principled stand towards censorship.

Yeah they seem to actively prevent jailbreaking on more recent devices. I specifically picked up a used Kindle 4 NT for this project, because it's so easy to jailbreak.
Is the total 149% short closing on this Friday? I was under the impression that the 100+% short position was for all shorts for all closing dates on GME? If the 149% short is spread over multiple weeks/months it seems misleading to quote the over 100% short position as a sure marker of an unlimited squeeze.

For reference, during the unlimited squeeze of Volkswagen’s stocks in 2008 it was estimated that less than 1% of Volkswagen shares were liquid — due to Porsche silently buying the majority of liquid stocks — to cover the short positions which led to the “unlimited squeeze”. I have a hard time believing that The number of liquid GME shares out there are nearly as low as 1%. The only way I could see the liquidity going that low is if institutional investors with tens or hundreds of billions dollars in market cap decide to buy up all liquid shares, effectively lowering the liquidity of GME to similar levels as Volkswagen during the 2008 unlimited short squeeze.

yes, and if routine procedures cost money, then people won't do them until they are emergencies. Why? Many people feel that they "shouldn't" "have to" spend money on those things.
But then the onus is on Reddit to slacken these restrictions; WSB threads get 100K responses, which is the amount of engagement many social media can only dream of. If Reddit doesn't lift the limits and helps the WSB team out with moderation, they're shooting themselves in the foot because Reddit HAS to act if the WSB team can't moderate effectively.

It's why Twitter held off on banning Trump for so long; not so much because of public interest, but because Trump alone kept the platform up, running, active and profitable. Social media loves controversy like that.
The WSB community calls each other a bunch of names as a form of... I don’t know, acceptance? It’s not meant to hurt. It’s a David versus Goliath mentality, the little guy, the underdog. That’s why they call each other these names.

I think it’s complicated, and that banning them is just another sad example of how sensitive the world has become to these things.

I think there's a very obvious difference between a group reclaiming a word that has been used to marginalize them and discriminate against them (N word, Queer etc.) and people who are not part of that group using the word to mock each other - and by proxy - the group of people the term is used to mock, and perpetuating its use as a derrogatory term.
How you learned the jail breaking and figure out all this? How much time it took to create?

Except that they are also saying they weren't given the mod tools they needed. And I'm not sure how you moderate decentralised social media.

I think HN should have some tools for demoting self-publishing attention-seeking narcissists with meaninless content.

No, OO has been studied extensively for decades and the conclusion is that it is a good enough tool for modularity and establishing of abstraction barriers, especially in dynamic typed languages, even if not taken into extreme like Smalltalk did.

Please, post your clickbait bullshit somewhere else.
By virtue of the fact that numerous people disagree with your assessment. Should it not be obvious that you could be living in your own private Idaho sharing a belief that all humans experience your gestalt. People have been finding ways to call both themselves and others mentally handicap since communication began. The irony of the current cultural dialogue is that the real negative experience of an expressive and living word is assumed to negate substantial positive aspects which are well documented by those of good humor and cheer. Your line of reasoning attempts to censure peers much as a child would demand of a playmate when in disagreement.

I don't know if it is a question of intelligence or understanding, but rather evidence that there is currently very little demand for climate solutions (because everyone can externalize these costs for free). The lack of jobs on HN in this area is really a symptom of the problem. But also true that their are jobs in this area (solar) they just don't overlap with the typical HN skillset.
And yet he had children. Having just one child increases your climate footprint beyond your control -even if it's zero otherwise.

Besides that, beyond his (outdoor toilet & food) masochism he is a massive hypocrite like EVERY SINGLE person that publicly whines about climate change: Unibody macbook, car, christmas lights, another macbook, iPhone, wait a second... is this a god damn amazon box in the background? Yes it is! So anyways, unless you don't have children, stop pretending you really care about bobcats and your climate footprint.

I don’t recall saying anything about retail money. There are many things at play- short squeezing, gamma squeezing, retail buying, trend based algo buying. Trying to attribute a move to any one thing is folly because it’s never one thing.

But, when you get mass hysteria around a certain asset class and frenzied buying with the expectation said asset will just keep going up without regard for the fair value (in this case heavily shorted stocks), that’s a bubble. Just because you’re a large institutional buyer doesn’t make you immune from participation.

Good. The people that do this arent “innocent nobody redditors”, they just use reddit as a shield. It’s exactly what they did with the chans, they astroturfed trump and turned an anti corruption community into a pro mafia cult. Every single thing done here was planned by that Cohen dude. Random internet commenters were only there for extra juice during the pump.

My guess is both sides of this, shorts and longs, are people who lost a fuck ton of investing money due to 401ks getting cut off from tens of millions unemployed, so they just switched up the games they play with peoples money. Pyramid schemes dont last long when money stops coming in.
I should have written almost always.

You can but it's not common. It's like saying you can write functional programing in C. You can but the whole ecosystem is not doing it.

If you set attributes, you know for sure that they changed at this particular place in the program but later in another position in the program, can you reason about the value of the object? You don't even who mutated it. And don't tell me "you can get its state", I'm talking about reasoning about the program here.

There is a reason why concurrent programming is more difficult than necessary with objects.

My point is that this implicit management of the state in "OOP" brings a lot of problems
It's not an OSI endorsed license. Elastic insists on copyright transfers for any code contributions as well, so that makes contributing under a different license not possible (their choice).

Crate is upset because they've created a significant derivative work which complicates their business under the new license. Apache 2.0 is intentionally designed to support this kind of thing; which is why it is a popular license for companies working together on OSS projects.

Copyright transfers like Elastic is practicing are of course a big risk for such companies. IMHO, any such projects has long term challenges. Most long lived OSS projects have a multitude of copyright holders. E.g. re-licensing Linux would be very impractical as it as many thousands of contributors some of whom have passed away (i.e. their families inherited the copyright). That's a strength of that project; it's forever stuck on GPL2, which provides enough wiggle room that the likes of Google, Samsung, and many others can use it to create software for their products.

Amazon's work is of course less significant but this license is designed to prevent derivative works from being likely to succeed commercially. Even Amazon's use which technically did not involve actually modifying the source code (not a single line, they used a binary OSS release provided by Elastic and added plugins) would be illegal under this license. That's not open; sorry.
I wonder what climate clowns would respond when asked about this? Would they admit that having 3 offspring was a bad decision, climate wise, or would they remain committed to their cognitive dissonance?

Per-capita pollution in America is the highest in the world.

1 American produces 16.5 tons of CO2 on average, 40 times of that of Uganda, Rwanda, Chad & Somalia combined

America has about 330 million people. Convert that into a population normalized for polluting capacity, it's population will be Billions.

It's time developed countries take responsibility and lead in tackling climate change. Because they are responsible for the bulk of it in the past 10 decades.

Edit : Per-Capita pollution from India is 1.7.

Normalizing Indian population for polluting capacity, it is just about 120 Million.

https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/10296/economics/top-co2-p...

edit 2: To clarify a bit, the per-capita pollution for whole of sub-saharan Africa is about 0.834. Thus on average, normalizing Americas population to match Africas per-capita pollution levels, population of America will be 6 BILLION.

The HN hive mind figured out how they wanted to the world to be when they were 13 and they haven't updated it since.

Climate Change. Renewable energy vs nuclear power. No we aren't all going to travel to other planets. You will never be a heroic figure. Women have their own opinions of things. Pandemic upends the daily routine. Car culture sucks and isn't sustainable.

None of those was part of The Plan and so the hive mind hates it.

The climate is changing, and it seems to be primarily caused by human activity. With change comes unpredictability and unpredictability results in perceived (and potentially actual ) instability of systems that have been in place for millennia.

If you're lucky you won't experience any crisis first-hand but for the ones experiencing things like random famines, water-shortages, poverty and conflict, all due to "climate-connected adverse effects here and there in the world", it will be life-altering.

It's not going to be the end of the World, and while the climate changes may be very long-term, life will adapt and overcome. That doesn't mean that humanity won't have a very rough ride going forward.
